A more advanced look at options and use of the Azure cloud, including discounts via a framework agreement.

Presenters from Microsoft and Phoenix Software, Cambridge's key Microsoft partner, will explore options for using the Azure cloud for office, teaching and research purposes, with particular reference to:

• Azure AD - key features, options for using it
• Consultancy services to assist with transitioning from traditional on-premise infrastructure to the cloud
• Ongoing support services to ensure that institutions get the best out of their investment in Azure moving forwards
• Facilitating access to a range of free of charge Microsoft/Phoenix training workshops, learning platforms, etc.
• Providing information on access to grants/funding from Geant and Microsoft
• 15% discount on Azure PAYG metered prices, via Phoenix Software and OCRE framework (Jisc notice)

Along with this overview, there will be an opportunity for Q&A, and options for individual follow-ups for anyone wishing to explore the possibilities further.
